Abstract <\/strong><\/p>\n

There are many causes of anemia bout malnutrition is the main cause, such as iron deficiency, vitamin deficiency (vitamin B12), huge bleeding due physical injuries and during menstruation that lead to loss of red blood cells, in some cases the body itself destroy the red blood cells and the body doesn\u2019t form the red blood cells, certain infection diseases such as HIV, AIDS, and tuberculosis linked, In this study among 100 participants, in Obstetrics and Gynecology Department in Zliten Medical Center for the whole month of December 2020. The Objective of this study to evaluate the level of awareness of pregnant mothers on their knowledge of anemia during pregnancy in Zliten Medical Center.<\/p>\n

Key Words: <\/strong>Anemia, Pregnancy, Medical, hemoglobin<\/em><\/p>\n

Introduction<\/strong><\/p>\n

According to the world health organization (WHO) anemia is a condition in which the number of red blood cells (RBCs) or their oxygen-carrying capacity is insufficient to meet physiologic needs. Anemia is the major public health issue in worldwide now a days ,is a pervasive global public health problem, an estimated 2 billion people are affected or more than one third of the world\u2019s population.(1),(2)<\/sup><\/p>\n

Anemia is defined as blood hemoglobin level less than13 g\/dl in men and less than 12.0 g\/dl in women established cut-off points, anemia prevalence is highest in developing countries, although both males and females of all ages are affected, the most vulnerable groups are pregnant women and young children, Worldwide, more than 40% of pregnant women and over 30% of all women suffer from anemia. (2)<\/sup><\/p>\n

Anemia in pregnancy is defined as hemoglobin (HGB) concentration less than 11g\/dl throughout pregnancy according to the World Health Organization (WHO). In normal pregnancy, beginning at the end of the first trimester there are physiologic expansion of the plasma volume of about 50% and an increase of red blood cell (RBC) of about 30%. This disproportional increase in plasma and (RBCs) reduces the (HGB) concentration of the pregnant woman and depending on the (HGB) concentration, prior to this expansion and the pregnant woman could be rendered anemic.(3)<\/sup><\/p>\n

Globally, the most common cause of anemia is iron deficiency, which is responsible for about half of anemia cases in pregnancy, it is estimated in development countries, and about 38% of pregnant women had iron depletion.(4)<\/sup><\/p>\n

The awareness of anemia is very important especially in pregnant women, awareness about follow a balanced diet and awareness of signs and symptoms of anemia during pregnancy, Increased awareness reduces anemia during pregnancy between pregnant women.(5)<\/sup><\/p>\n

Problem statement:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Anemia is considered one of the most common reasons of hospitalization in department of obstetrics.<\/li>\n
  2. There are increasing incidence of maternal and fetal death due to complications like hemorrhage, premature delivery and respiratory and cardiac problems due to anemia of pregnancy.<\/li>\n
  3. Insufficient of knowledge and awareness of mothers on anemia during the pregnancy period due to early marriage and lack readiness for motherhood.(6)<\/sup><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Significance:<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. This study is focused on the level of awareness of anemia during pregnancy in the Zliten Medical Center<\/li>\n
    2. To propose methods for increasing level awareness of anemia during pregnancy among pregnant women in the Zliten Medical Center.<\/li>\n
    3. Organizing awareness-raising seminars for pregnant women, this is to increase awareness about anemia.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Diagnostic Tests of Anemia<\/strong><\/p>\n

      Often, the first test is a complete blood count (CBC), CBC is a broad-scale test that provides a count of all the RBCs, white blood cells (WBCs) and platelets in a sample of pregnant blood. It also includes other tests that provide information about pregnant mother blood, (13)<\/sup> most pregnant women with folate or cobalamin de\ufb01ciency do not exhibit macrocytosis, which may be masked by iron de\ufb01ciency or by an underlying minor thalassemia phenotype. Furthermore, 2% to 5% of pregnant mother with normocytic anemia have mild megaloblastic changes in the bone marrow that resolve with folic acid supplementation. The full blood test must be conducted during pregnancy at the first trimester and third trimester to check levels of hemoglobin in the blood. So complications during pregnancy must be prevented.<\/p>\n
